We employ the conformal bootstrap to re-examine the problem of finding the critical behavior of four-Fermion theory at its strong coupling fixed point. Existence of a solution of the bootstrap equations indicates self-consistency of the…
We present updated results for the non-perturbative $\beta$-function of SU(3) gauge theories with $N_f = 12$ or 10 massless flavors in the fundamental rep or $N_f = 2$ in the sextet rep, measured with staggered fermions. New data at finer…
We report on our finite temperature 2+1 flavor lattice QCD simulation to study the thermodynamic properties of QCD near the (pseudo) critical point employing $N_T=12$ and $16$. The simulation points are chosen along the lines of constant…
We study the conformal bootstrap for 4-point functions of fermions $\langle \psi_i \psi_j \psi_k \psi_{\ell} \rangle$ in parity-preserving 3d CFTs, where $\psi_i$ transforms as a vector under an $O(N)$ global symmetry. We compute bounds on…
It is widely believed that chiral symmetry is spontaneously broken at zero temperature in the strong coupling limit of staggered fermions, for any number of colors and flavors. Using Monte Carlo simulations, we show that this conventional…
As a computationally less costly test case for full QCD, we investigate an SU(3) Yang-Mills theory coupled to a bosonic spinor field. This theory corresponds to QCD with minus two quark flavors and is known as the bermion model. Our central…
We revisit the long-standing conjecture that in unitary field theories, scale invariance implies conformality. We explain why the Zamolodchikov-Polchinski proof in D=2 does not work in higher dimensions. We speculate which new ideas might…
